The North Shore's answer to 'where do we even go for Korean up here': bubbling soondubu, soy-garlic chicken, and harbour light afterward.
Lower Lonsdale
More infoBukchon is the North Shore's answer to "where do we even go for Korean up here," and a very good one. The warmly-lit Lonsdale bistro does soondubu properly, the soft-tofu stew arriving still volcanically bubbling so you're both blowing on spoonfuls like it's your first winter, plus soy-garlic chicken to crack into between bites. Open late, a short stroll from the Quay seawall. Finish the whole stew.
Order a soondubu, soft-tofu stew, and let it arrive still bubbling so you're both blowing on the first spoonful; add the deep-fried soy-garlic chicken to share and crack into between bites. The room is small and warmly lit, so grab a corner table and settle in. Don't miss asking for extra rice to soak up the stew. Budget about an hour and a half; afterward, Lonsdale Quay and the harbour-front seawall are a short downhill stroll for a walk with the city lights across the water.
